Using a Job Shop/Temp. Agency
to Get Work
Job Shops/Temp. Agencies These job shops cater to businesses that need outside help to assist them with their projects. Although you don't need job shops to get freelance work, they can be a rewarding source to get work when you need it the most or to help you launch your own freelance career. Advantages of Job Shops Disadvantages of Job Shops The other disadvantage is the clutter of competition. Most job shops have you file a resume with them. They then enter you into a database—and the database chooses the most qualified freelancers for the project, it's usually not a human decision. If you don't have specialized skills or you lack skills, don't expect to receive work any time soon. Advice: Although job shops may help you get work, establish credentials, collect samples, and give you a paycheck, many freelancers say you really don't need them to survive in the long-term. Brian Konradt is the owner and operator of FreelanceWriting.com, a Web site dedicated to help writers master the business and creative sides of freelance writing. Mr. Konradt is also the principal of BSK Communications & Associates, a communications/publishing business in New Jersey, which he established in 1992. |
